LAST WEEK - Jan & Tom Keyton, our latest shining stars (with their Rotary medallions), shared their week at YRYLA along with 6 of the 8 Senior RYLAs and 4 of the 5 Young RYLAs. Each of the students thanked the Club, shared a memorable experience (trust and bond were key phrases), and all agreed it was a life changing experience. A few quotes from Edie, "one key idea I took away was understanding even the smallest thing can make a large difference in someone's life; I am committed to always treating others with kindness as you never know what they may be going through; another thing I learned is how important it is to set goals and to complete them." The video from last week's WS and shared during the meeting says it all, ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWeettM1HFk
Don't put off any longer!Our goal is 700+ boxes; those boxes help send kids to RYLA!
